Artist John Alvin RIP


If you read the papers, the only artists are avant garde types who put crucifixes in urine or make exhibitions that are in constant danger of being discarded as garbage by the janitor.

Yet some artists' work is well known but few recognize it as art: It is merely "design"...

Quint at Ain'tItCoolNews reports that John Alvin, designer of many movie posters, has died.

You probably have seen his work: Photo is the ET poster, but LINK has many others...Cocoon, The Little Mermaid, Blazing Saddles...Ernest Scared Stupid...
